Erin is 4!

Erin is such a fun girl. We are so lucky to have her in our family. We call her our "sunshine girl" because she's usually happy and she gets along with anyone. Happy Birthday!
Erin had a princess/prince party. Her friends came in their royal clothing, we played games, opened presents, and finished up with this castle cake.

Oh yeah, we also made crowns.

Happy Birthday Davin!

Davin was so funny with his cake. This is his before picture, and then there's a video of him during. I missed the funniest part part though. He was attacking it over and over with both hands and yelling "Aaahh" as he attacked. He's kind of winding down by this time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We're back! We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. We sure did. We started the new year out with the stomach flu or something, which lasted 2 full weeks and involved a lot of laundry, bed, and floor scrubbing. Now we're healthy and back to crazy busy mode.

All the girls got scooters from Santa. (Kayla and Aubree's are electric and SOOO fun) so we went for a family ride/walk on this trail.


Kenna, the girl's cousin, came for new years and had her baptism here so we could be a part of it. Doesn't she just fit right in with our family? (She's the one on the left in the middle)




We went hiking on New Year's Day with my sister Tiffany and her family and my brother Lee and his wife Melanie. This is in Zion National Park and it was beautiful with snow and frozen water and all those wintery things we don't get to see very often here.

We're Ready for Christmas!

Consider this your Christmas card this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We were afraid that Davin would be in the presents and tree all the time, but honestly this is the first time he's touched the tree. He steers clear of all of it!

Darin's Grandma's Christmas Party
So fun! There's tons of food, presents, and a program, but the hi-light of the evening is the nativity. Davin is baby Jesus, Lyndi, Erin, and Kayla are angels and Aubree is a wise guy in the back with sunglasses. (on the right in gold)



SNOW DAY!

Drinking hot chocolate after playing in the snow.
We can't remember our last snow day and we've definately not had one before Christmas before. The kids were so delighted to wake up to this much snow and played with the whole neighborhood all day. They built snowmen, went caroling, drank hot chocolate, and went sledding!

This was the snow 2 days before the big one. Lyndi and I built a snow girl together since all her sisters were sick that day.
